Problems compiling AdvanceMAME on Raspberry Pi 3

[Yami]

Hi,
I was able to compile without problems AdvanceMAME 1.5 on Raspberry Pi 1 with the following procedure:

1. (as root)
apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev gcc-4.7 autoconf git

2. (change to 4.7 Compiler)
export CC=gcc-4.7 
export GCC=g++-4.7

3. (clone source)
git clone https://github.com/amadvance/advancemame.git

4. (in advmame folder)
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install

But 'cause of this bug I'm actually unable to compile AdvanceMAME on my new Raspberry Pi 3. I already tried to use GCC 6 (from Rasbpian "stretch"), it seems OK but later in compilation I get a similar error.

Any help? :(

Hi Yami,

Please try with:

./configure CFLAGS=-O2

Let me know if it works.

Ciao,
Andrea

Hi Andrea and thank you for your suggestion.
ATM I compiled Advancemame 1.5 on RPi3 editing the Makefile to reflect GCC6.

I'll check your alternative method with "standard" GCC.

Hi Yami,

Building for GCC 6 is surely better. You'll get more optimizations.

Note that instead of changing manually the Makefile, you can configure the compilers at the configure step, like with:

./configure CC=gcc-6.0 CXX=g++-6.0

Ciao,
Andrea
